The people of France one and one half pounds per person per month The people of Italy one pound per person per month. These amounts are notguarauteed by the allied governments, but are the maximum.that will be furnished if supplies can be obtained. French sugar stocks on May 31 were the lowest in the history of that nation. A great handicap this season in selling peaches, crabapples, plums and prunes has been the unequal distribution of sugar on the prairies. This was noticeable in Saskatchewan in the early part of the season, but recently the cry of shortage comes from many outlying points in Alberta. Many cars of mixed fruits loaded in Calgary have been cancelled, and others threatened unless sufficient supply of sugar could aocornpany them to insure the buyer some chance of a sale. The following strikes us as the right thing. It is a pity that it did not dawn a little ahead of the end of this season, when the damage has Potato Prices There is little change in the potato market in the Northwestern states Stockton, Cal., quotes f.o.b. shipping point $2 to $2.45, raestly $2.25.

A final analysis of the Victory loan shows that tbe actual cost of floating it included payment of all organization expenses, advertising, remuneration to bond and stock houses and commissions to canvassers, was not much over one half of 1per cent, or, to be exact, 1.64 per cent. The other expenses were for services of chartered banks, in receiving subscriptions, keeping accounts, delivering securities at their branches throughout Canada, over a period of many months, and paying interest upon ooupous free of exchange during the entire period of the lite of the bonds and for the administration in the offices at Ottawa, where a temporary staff numbering more ���������.ban 600 was engaged for months in connection with the work of the loan.

This month's war cost will break all records. The nation's burden for September is placed at $1,775,000,000. According to figures this exceeds the monthly expenditures of anv other belligerent. The United States has spent nearly half as much in eighteen months as Germany has in forty-nine months.

Years ago he had become hardened to the marmalade-eating, tea drinking old women���������even women who used his handkerchiefs had ceased to surprise him. But Mrs. Blinker had no care.

Well, one Saturday his stores were shorter but his bill was longer than usual. This was the last straw. Quietly packing his box, he took it down to the street and put it on the roof of a taxi. Then, while the driver wound his machine up, Bilson went into the house and called down the kitchen stairs: "By the way, Mis. Blinker, I'm sloping!
